Ammo Shortage.....Intentional?

SO WHERE IS ALL THE .22 AT?? THE FEDS DON'T BUY .22 OR DO THEY , SO WE CAN'T??
JUST CURIOUS WHAT YA'LL THINK 'CUZ .22's ARE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!   

Last night watching Brand X and Allie Cat Barrett, and Brand Z, and Brand W, along with Shooting Gallery and The Best Defense, there was a short segment on one of the AR's out there.  It was stated by the company rep that they are selling many .22lr items to government and law enforcement for the same reasons that we are shooting more of it.  COST  OF  TRAINING!

The government has NOTHING to do with any of this.

All of the .22 is being bought by a bunch of old guys that stand at the ammo counter when Walmart gets a shipment in.  If there is .22, they call all of there buddies, who come in and buy it all within an hour.  Then these guys try to sell it in the local paper or gun show for three to four times what they paid . 

Unfortunately they have formed a monopoly, but it won't end until they run out of customers willing to pay $80 for a $20 box of ammo.

This entire "shortage" if feeding off itself. I've never in the past seen people waiting in line at Wal-Mart to buy ammo. Now it's a regular occurrence. .22 ammo is the worst. When it comes in these people act like it's food, and they haven't eaten in 9 days. Much the same with powder, primers, bullets, and brass.

This is just going to have to cycle itself out, and that won't happen until these "Johnny Come Lately's" build enough of a stockpile to satisfy themselves from all of the government boogeymen. Before people only bought what they thought they'd NEED. Now they're buying ALL THEY CAN GET. Hussein & Co. has everyone in a panic, along with these school shootings that are coming along every 5 minutes.
